Addressing pesticide challenges at the EPA continues to be a priority for farm and commodity organizations. “We’re working with other commodity groups to educate members of Congress about how important pesticide tools are to growers,” said Luther Markwart, Executive Vice President, American Sugarbeet Growers Association. “We’re also involved in litigations to protect these products. Then, the EPA’s budgets continue getting tighter. New products that farmers want and need can’t get through the regulatory process, because the EPA is concerned about getting sued. Additional steps slow things down.” Markwart attended the International Sugar Beet Institute last week.
